General information
The operating principle of the RFD-23 detector is based on the property of semi-conducting elements (non-linear junctions) to re-emit second and third harmonics of super high frequency probing signals irradiating them.
Because semi-conductor junctions have non-linear characteristics that differ from those of natural junctions, it is possible to differentiate electronics from the background using the reception of the 2nd and 3rd harmonics of the probing signal. The comparison of the harmonics levels, as well as the mode of extraction of the envelope of the reflected signals allow the operator to identify which signals are reflected from the semi-conducting electronic devices and which signals are from the background of the natural (corrosive) non-linear reflectors.
The adjustable radiation power of the RFD-23 detector makes it possible to efficiently conduct searches for devices hidden in or behind various materials, including building structures and the ground.
The use of pencil-beam antenna system combined with the possibility to adjust the detector’s parameters results in a very accurate localization of the objects during the search operations.
In addition to using the data displayed on the LCD screen, the operator may rely on audio signals from built-in speakers or headphones to define the presence of the second and third harmonics.
Search mode
The search mode includes the following steps:
- the presence of interference is assessed,
- the optimal value of the probing signal power and the receivers’ amplification are selected,
- the search and localization of objects containing semi-conducting elements is performed.
Identification mode
The presence of an artificial or natural non-linearity in the detected object is assessed based on the reflected signal parameters.
